In just a few short months, the U.S. Supreme Court will issue rulings on three cases involving LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) people who were fired from their jobs. We’re a community on pins and needles, tapped out from the marriage equality struggle and now having to gear up to fight hard, new battles for our basic dignity.

The Supreme Court now has the opportunity to affirm that all LGBT people should be able to work hard and support themselves and our loved ones without fear of humiliation, harassment or discrimination at work. The law is on our side. Many federal courts and agencies have long held that firing someone simply for being LGBT is unlawful sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
